About this audiobook
The new novel in the Jesus Chronicles, the bestselling series from the authors of the Left Behind novels.
Levi was studying to be a priest, but when an unspeakable tragedy befalls his family, he turns his back on his faith and decides to pursue riches and luxury instead. He becomes a tax collector, disappointing his family and reviled by Jews and Romans alike. And although he is a success, his chosen trade does not bring him contentment. When he hears about Jesus, the man who some are saying is the prophesied Messiah, he begins a quest that leads him to question his very existence. As he follows Jesus and records His words and deeds, Levi is shaken to the core and transformed. Renamed "Matthew" by Jesus-literally "gift from God"-he is called to give up his work and his worldly possessions and claims Jesus as his Lord.
Matthew's Story is a novel that brings to life the most unlikely of apostles-a sinner-turned-saint-and his time with the Lord. Thrilling and uplifting, Matthew's Story shows how the true Messiah changed the life of one man, and forever altered the course of history.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful adaption of Matthews story/gospel. Can’t wait for the next story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Levi is a boy destined for the Jewish priesthood. As the story begins his little brother, Chavivi, is murdered by Herod the Great's men. Herod's men have been given the order to kill every male two years old and under in Herod's kingdom in hopes of killing the coming Messiah, the King of the Jews. Levi is traumatized by this tragedy and turns against God relinquishing his claim to be a priest. He also finds a way to get back at Herod's government with his career choice as a tax collector. This novel takes the Bible's book of Matthew and makes it into a very readable story.
